Jason Collett (Pacific Reign): “Unable to control things like last start. Didn’t get his own way and unable to run on.”

Corey Brown (Virgilio): “Started to go backwards around the 800m. Didn’t punish him but he was a beaten horse a long way out.”

Chad Lever (Pomelo): “She was okay. She was probably a bit quiet today compared to what she is normally like but she travelled strong enough through the run, like she normally does, but didn’t have that finish today. May have come to the end of it.”
